Very well: 5 UK/IE Kindle copies of @aptshadow.bsky.social's *excellent* (fairly-)hard SF novek, Children of Time. I love it. You *must* have an amazon.co.uk Kindle account to claim one!
I don't do UK/IE giveaways as much, but this book is *so* good.

Notice that @aptshadow.bsky.social ’s Children of Time is 99p on kindle in the UK. If you have any interest in SF and haven’t read it, this is a no-brainer.

I am not quite sure if The Devil and the Dark Water counts for #UKSFFBookBargains. I've not read it, the description sounds like it could be, other stuff by Stuart Turton would.

As well as the below in #UKSFFBookBargains there is a Geoffrey McGuire sequel to Wicked, which isn't for me, might be for you and the second Jean Auel Clan of the Cave bear books. Not certain that's really Fantasy, but there used to be reader overlap.
#UKSFFBookBargains has a daily deal of Exhalation by Ted Chiang. Sorry story collection, including art least one nominated for a Hugo. Don't think it won, but a talented craftsman.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Also there’s over 40 million Americans on food stamps. That’s well over 10% of the population. Not a ringing endorsement of Capitalism by any stretch.
